Name That STAR TREK Episode...

[Steven P Bastien]

Wow, I didn't know that total was 12. But, I think it was all a cause for concern, or at least I hope so. Anyway I could not have chosen what I did not know, so WNMHGB is incorrect.

Clue #2

Half a dozen
per seven,

which is a bad rhyme but a good ratio ... considering.

 

[Henoch]

The Galileo Seven, only because it has "seven" in it.

 

[Steven P Bastien]

That's a good thought Henoch, but only 5 of the seven survived, making the ratio not quite good enough. (hint) So, it's not G7.

 

[Steven P Bastien]

Clue review and new clue, as follows, and the previous hint has been turned into a clue.

Clue #1 The loss of a dozen seems no cause for concern.

Clue #2 Half a dozen per seven, which is a bad rhyme but a good ratio ... considering.

Clue #3 Survivors, like five out of seven in "Galileo Seven"

Clue #4 Those previous numbers are important, but I'm still upset at being shown only one per every ten of those golden ones.

 

[Steven P Bastien]

Clue #5 The ratio 5 to 7 does have significance in this episode also, but not as a survival ratio. After survival, it's "5 women - for every 7 men". Also a bad rhyme but this time not a good ratio. What about the lost dozen? I have no stats on them.

 

[BK613]

I, Mudd
Something to do with the number of android models made and the number fried or something....

 

[Steven P Bastien]

No, not "I, Mudd". Lot's of numbers in that one, but they don't really match up with the stats in the clues as far as I can tell.

Clue #6 Instead of throwing more ratios and other stats at you, let's pause and consider the numbers so far. Can we calculate anything with the numbers given? Sometimes ratios obscure the truth in the data, and the absolute total numbers are more meaningful and obvious. I suspect that after a long day of work, no one was in the mood to actually do some of the possible calculations.

 

[Henoch]

I can't figure out the math, but all the talk about "survivors" makes me think of Spock's Brain, with the women survivors below and the men survivors on the harsh planet surface. The death rate should be higher in the men, so, maybe the women to men ratio should be higher than one-to-one, or your ratios are based on those observed on screen?

It's not "Spocks' Brain".

... with the women survivors below and the men survivors on the harsh planet surface. The death rate should be higher in the men, so, maybe the women to men ratio should be higher than one-to-one, or your ratios are based on those observed on screen?

This is a reasonable line of reasoning, so I feel I should give the hint that the numbers are hard and exact, based on factual data from the script (with one small exception). No approximations or guessing are needed .

Clue #7 After giving so much data, I'm starting to wonder if some of it is redundant, but on review I think not. Still, when this is all over, I feel I will need to apologize for being repetitive.

"Tomorrow is Yesterday" The clues are something about 12 constitution class ships and the ones we see lost in the series, and the ratio of male to female crew on the Enterprise. And the end of the episode is repetitive since they travel over the same time period again to drop off Christopher and the Sargent.

 

[BK613]

Space Seed.

Clue #1 The loss of a dozen seems no cause for concern.
Twelve life support units failed yet Khan never bats an eye on hearing this. He seems only concerned about reviving those that did survive.

Clue #2 Half a dozen per seven, which is a bad rhyme but a good ratio ... considering.
There were 72 units still working out of 84 total units. Ratio 72:84 or 6:7 (6x12=72, 7x12=84).

Clue #3 Survivors, like five out of seven in "Galileo Seven"
They are survivors.

Clue #4 Those previous numbers are important, but I'm still upset at being shown only one per every ten of those golden ones.
Not enough of the 30 women are shown?

Clue #5 The ratio 5 to 7 does have significance in this episode also, but not as a survival ratio. After survival, it's "5 women - for every 7 men". Also a bad rhyme but this time not a good ratio. What about the lost dozen? I have no stats on them.
There are 72 remaining units, 30 of which are female, which makes 42 male. Therefore, 5 to 7. We are given no info on the make-up of the twelve that fail.

Clue #6 Instead of throwing more ratios and other stats at you, let's pause and consider the numbers so far. Can we calculate anything with the numbers given? Sometimes ratios obscure the truth in the data, and the absolute total numbers are more meaningful and obvious. I suspect that after a long day of work, no one was in the mood to actually do some of the possible calculations.
Clue #7 After giving so much data, I'm starting to wonder if some of it is redundant, but on review I think not. Still, when this is all over, I feel I will need to apologize for being repetitive.
Admonishments rather than clues I think LOL

 

[Steven P Bastien]

Yes, BK613 gets it. Congrats. You got all the clues explained right too, but on clue #7 I truly do need to apologize. The repetition I'm guilty of is that I did "Space Seed" on my last round also. To make matters worse, on the round before that, I said I did not want to repeat the same episode when a random selection chose a repeat of "The Cloud Minders" for me then. So, I was being doubly tricky to steer people away from even thinking about "Space Seed".

Your turn BK613.

Thanks SPB
------------
Clue One: The situation is as nebulous as this clue.

 

[BK613]

Clue Two: Let's Rock out to the idea of parallel geological development.

 

[BK613]

Clue Three: Regarding the parallel development, sometimes there are lots of Aliens. This time there is none or one (or two.)

 

[Henoch]

The Galileo Seven?
1. The Galileo was sent into "Murasaki 312, a quasar-like formation, vague, undefined."
2. Definitely big rocks all over the planet.?
3. The big aliens were mostly hiding in the fog with a miscellaneous arm here or there, and the most we see of them is one attacking poor Gaetano.

 

[BK613]

@Henoch Unfortunately, that answer has crashed and burned. Not G7.
Clue Review:
Clue One: The situation is as nebulous as this clue.
Clue Two: Let's Rock out to the idea of parallel geological development.
Clue Three: Regarding the parallel development, sometimes there are lots of Aliens. This time there is none or one (or two.)
-------------------
Clue Four:The return of that facility and its custodian in other episodes would have been a Mastersful stroke.

 

[Henoch]

The Alternative Factor?
1. With the universe-jumping Lazari, the Enterprise is superimposed with a nebula special effect.
2. There are two exact planets; one in the matter universe and one in the antimatter universe.
3. The alien is Lazarus. There are never more than one Lazarus in an universe at the same time even though there are two of him.
4. The facility that is out of service is the Dilithium Re-amplification Unit run by Lt. Masters.

 

[BK613]

@Henoch Essentially correct, although the capitalization in 2 and 3 were intended to lead one to Vasquez in the movie "Aliens" and clue the reader into the fact that this was one of those Vasquez Rocks episodes.
Vasquez let's rock (youtube)

 

[Henoch]

1st Clue: Kirk is given an unwelcome but easy mission.
